Description
Muon tomography has been widely used on Earth to probe internal structures using secondary cosmic-ray muons. We investigate its application to the Moon by studying muons produced in the lunar regolith. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we evaluate the energy spectrum, angular distribution, and flux of muons escaping the lunar surface under different regolith conditions. The results show that the angular muon flux is sensitive to near-surface composition, indicating its potential as a non-invasive tool for lunar subsurface exploration. Possible detector configurations and applications in future lunar missions, including the Chang’e program, are briefly discussed.
